Mechanical Behavior of Osteoporotic Bone at Sub-Lamellar Length Scales
*Correspondence: Asa H. Barber , School of Engineering, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO1 2UP, UK e-mail: [email protected] Osteoporosis is a disease known to promote bone fragility but the effect on the mechanical properties of bone material, which is independent of geometric effects, is particularly unclear. To address this problem, micro-beams of osteoporotic bone were prepared us...
متن کاملAge-related changes in the plasticity and toughness of human cortical bone at multiple length scales.
The structure of human cortical bone evolves over multiple length scales from its basic constituents of collagen and hydroxyapatite at the nanoscale to osteonal structures at near-millimeter dimensions, which all provide the basis for its mechanical properties. To resist fracture, bone's toughness is derived intrinsically through plasticity (e.g., fibrillar sliding) at structural scales typical...
متن کاملBone microdamage and cell apoptosis.
Accumulation of microdamage in bone leads to the reduced strength of our skeleton. In health, bone adapts to the prevailing mechanical needs of the organism and is also capable of self-repair, sensing, removing and replacing damaged or mechanically insufficient volumes of bone. In disease and old age these characteristics are reduced. In order to undertake both of the processes of functional ad...
متن کاملDoes Locality Fail at Intermediate Length - Scales ? ⋆
If quantum gravity implies a fundamental spatiotemporal discreteness, and if its “laws of motion” are compatible with the Lorentz transformations, then physics cannot remain local. One might expect this nonlocality to be confined to the fundamental discreteness scale, but I will present evidence that it survives at much lower energies, yielding for example a nonlocal equation of motion for a sc...
متن کاملChanges at Multiple Spatial Scales
Change detection on rasterized data is extremely dependent on accurate radiometric and geometric rectification. The development of processing tools able to minimise these requirements has been recognised since the late eighties. In the present paper we present a methodology for detecting changes on multidate satellite images with different radiometric and geometric characteristics via Multireso...
